After publicly disowning Jeremy Corbyn, Wallasey MP Angela Eagle was telling anybody who’d listen – which happily for her was an eager, Westminster pack of mainstream journalists with cameras and dictaphones at the ready – that not only had she been the victim of alleged homophobia, intimidation, bullying and offensive phone calls (the vast bulk of it never reported to the police at any time – even to this day), but she’d had a brick thrown through her constituency office window in Manor Road, Wallasey.

Luckily this appears to have been reported to the police by office staff, before any meddlesome politico with an axe to grind* could get their manipulating hands onto it.
